Chicken Alfredo (Low-Calorie)
Boneless chicken breast is pan-seared, then simmered with garlic in a lightened sauce built from skim milk thickened with cornstarch and finished with Parmesan. Served over fettuccine with steamed broccoli, dusted with black pepper and parsley for a leaner take on the American classic.
